or even pseudo-incriminated for attempting to maintain our own life.
It seems so stupid that I’m like a suspect for wanting an exchange of information without dropping my pants and bending over. No, I don’t want cookies. Yes I want to read the article but no, I don’t want to “sign up.”
It makes me feel like being a f*cking hermit. But I prefer to pirate. Even though I’m not that good at it. Screw them. I got two private trackers, a VPN, and I hope that’s enough.
I got a pretty letter from speck_t_rum once.
Been a paranoid ever since.
Should’ve had a VPN up!
I don’t see how thats relevant.
VPN will encrypt your traffic so your ISP can’t spy on you. That’s the whole point of a VPN.
But I wasn’t even talking about vpns. Just private trackers and how to get into them.
It said stop torrenting or face a biiiig fine. I’ll try and follow the guides to avoid this but I’m still a bit paranoid. Maybe I was loooking for reassurance that vpn and private trackers are good enough.
Perhaps I’m mistaken, but I believe the only thing they could really do is drop you from their service (or I guess throttle you to high heaven)… I don’t think a private company has the authority to impose fines, and I don’t think these companies are actually following-up on these letters with real lawsuits as it would cost them way too much money.
actually either or is good normally. Public tracker +VPN or private without.
I wouldn’t go without a VPN either way. Not a lot is really stopping copyright trolls from getting on some of the private trackers.
I torrented stuff on spectrum for years through a VPN without issue. Just make sure your torrent client is bound to the VPN network adapter only to prevent leaks.
